Wonderful link up from Hendo and Lallana and a cool finish by Lallana. 3 - 0. Actually a really nice ball from Henderson over the defence.

Playing a 4-3-3 btw with what looks like a DM/Controller in the form of Allen? I think that's going to be our formation. Henderson/Milner midfield. Looks like Milner is keeping back more too with Henderson a bit more freedom to roam forward.

Can definitely see nice qualities from Origi. He works hard up front, harries the defence, and makes good runs. He seems just a fraction late on everything so far with scoring opportunities. If he can get his timing down a bit better he'll be really nice already.

Ibe trying to do a bit too much with the ball, even surrounded by 3 people.

Origi was very impressive. This was against a sub-par side obviously, but he was doing all the things you want to see from a striker and I'm glad he ended up scoring because he made a lot of chances for himself. Two posts, a couple close misses, some saves and also had some nice link-up but man he put in a lot of effort -- he looks a very complete forward.

Lallana was impressive also. His turns on the ball are really nice, and being two footed is a big boon for having him. I think actually that he won't be a starter, but he can be a very big impact sub I think (especially since he doesn't seem to have great stamina/fitness).

Clyne looked ok too. Some good runs and good effort to get back and cover when nothing came of them or possession was lost.

Other than that I think I was mostly disappointed in Ibe. Some bad decisions, holding onto the ball too much, trying to be too fancy I think. Other than that everyone else was just ok. Missed the first half video so can't really comment there.
